Drive access for Profile Users

[astrovik]

Hi,

Only I have the admin rights on my machine. I've created 3 other
profiles with limited rights (to install any software, etc).
There are 2 drives -- C (system) and D (data).
PROBLEM CONCERING 'COPYING' OF DATA -- Only I can copy data on D
(data) drive. Others cannot even copy any files on to D drive. Their
access is limited to their own profile folders and to a shared folder
on C drive created by Windows XP.
Is this a genuine Windows XP feature? Is there any setting that can
make me share the D (data) drive with other users?

Experts please guide.

You need to set appropriate permissions. Click Start / Help,
then look for help on Permissions to see how it's done.
